 ====General maintenance====
-Insert text
+To keep the bead roller operating smoothly, clean the machine after each use to remove metal shavings, dust, and debris from the rolls, shafts, and adjuster threads. Lightly lubricate the bushings, bead depth adjuster, and gear interfaces with machine oil to reduce wear and maintain smooth operation. Periodically check all fasteners, set screws, and roll alignment to ensure parts remain secure and true.

		+
		+	Mechanical & Structural Issues
		+	*Bead depth adjuster not moving smoothly
		+	**Inspect for dirt or debris around the adjuster; clean and lubricate as needed.
		+	**Make sure the handle is properly attached and free of damage.
		+	*Roll shafts seizing or stiff
		+	**Apply light machine oil to bushings periodically to maintain smooth rotation.
		+	**Ensure shaft alignment is correct and rolls slide on/off easily.
		+	*Crank engagement issues
		+	**Verify the crank handle is securely fastened.
		+	**Confirm gears are clean, dry, and free of excessive play.
		+	Beading Performance Problems
		+	*Shallow or inconsistent bead depth
		+	**Turn the bead depth adjuster clockwise until it contacts the metal, then add another half-turn for pressure.
		+	**Test settings on scrap material and adjust gradually for desired depth.
		+	*Uneven beads or wandering path
		+	**Ensure bead rolls are securely fastened to the shafts and set parallel.
		+	**Use an edge guide or depth stop to maintain straightness and consistent bead width.
		+	Material Feeding or Roll Misalignment
		+	*Difficulty feeding stock through rolls
		+	**Start with rolls slightly open, then close gradually with the depth adjuster to avoid pinching thin stock.
		+	*Rolls slipping or shifting under load
		+	**Tighten shaft set screws and ensure rolls are properly keyed to the shafts.
